		<description>I would agree with you pags2 as Rove should be water boarded on all matters he was involved in.  They could get enough evidence against him from water boarding him to put him in prison for a 150 years, though he would be long dead before that.  He is a scumbag just Bernard Madoff, who was sentenced to 150 years in prison and there isn&#039;t much difference between them as they are both scheming liars.</description>

		<description>Karl Rove will have to yet go before Congress over his involvement on sending former Governor of Alabama Don Siegelman to prison on lies that Karl Rove helped to cook up.  What needs to happen is that Karl Rove needs to have a warrant issued for his arrest as he thinks that he is above the law by him ignoring this matter.  He needs to be arrested, hauled back to Washington in Leg Irons and Hand Cuffs.  They as well need to put him on a Lie Detector and get the truth out of him about his involvement and the next step will be a court case and then sentencing to prison for the rest of his life.</description>

		<description>Karl Rove is an ignorant moron who only looks at the faults of others when he should take a look at himself and realize what a scheming and lying Ahole that he is.  The best description of George Walker Bush and Karl Rove is &quot;Dumb and Dumber&quot; or for George Walker Bush, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove is the &quot;Three Stooges.&quot;</description>

		<description>The president has no inherent powers to criminally prosecute because that is in the purview of the AG. The report that came out yesterday is indicative of an investigation. That does not mean it is the only investigation. There may be matters that are not completed and then the AG has to choose whether to prosecute. The report will be sent to Congress for its consideration with the appropriate committees. It is too early to say if anyone will be charge. The fact that it was made public may ultimate lead to hearings in Congress which may order the prosecution.</description>

		<description>Good Morning Jo and all,..The question&#039;s always asked is why are the dem&#039;s so spineless and allowing all this corruption to continue...Easy answer, they are in on it...With the exception of a few like Kucinich...Right now can&#039;t think of any one in the &quot;few&quot; group but there must be some, at least I hope...

The fact the President Obama is doing just what I thought he would do so soon after the election is what suprises me....Thought we would have a few good change&#039;s first...He has baught into all of bull shit bush&#039;s bad polacies and the war along with installing reich wingers in key position&#039;s or left much of the old guard in place...

rove is part of the most evil and corrupt, the fact he is allowed all the privledge of a protected felon, run&#039;s his mouth and has all the freedom of a king is no suprise to me...He do&#039;s not even have to go under oath, what the hell is that all about.?  My answer, it&#039;s all a scam...They dem&#039;s and all play a verbal game and act like they are doing something when in full bold faced lie&#039;s they are doing nothing but continue their little sherade of ripping us off and using flowery speeches to keep us fed little snippet;s of hope they will do their job....Oh a few will do some good localy maybe, but over all they are all 2 sides of the same coin....

We were sold a brand with Obama, the media and big business decided it was time to put a black man in power to capture all the middle age vote&#039;s from those of us that faught so hard during the civil right&#039;s years...Never mind we are the same bunch that are Peace activest and helped stop the Nam genocide...The war issue is not valed enough and the present young voter&#039;s were easy to sway and capture with the flowery hopeful speeche&#039;s...All it took was having an intelligent speeker with a nice looking family and then allow or help mcnut&#039;s implode with the wacko palin and the plan was complete...

I know people will be critical of my post&#039;s, claiming I am not giving President Obama a chance or it took 8 years to get here and it&#039;s only been months he&#039;s been in office but the fact&#039;s remain, we are still at war and supporting 4 at present, that&#039;s billions in tax money...Nothing is being done about holding any one accountable, in fact the present administration is going out of it&#039;s way to block any investigation&#039;s...They are still going to hold people even if they were pardoned..No accountability with the bulging banker&#039;s or them recieving more fund&#039;s, well Yah! who&#039;s the President&#039;s go to bank guy.? Geitner the insider when the problem&#039;s were created....Who&#039;s the go to guy for stopping Israel and it&#039;s funded by us madness.? rahm.....Who are all the other&#039;s in charge,? right leaning centerest looking out for their own self interest and to hell with all of us....

If the public want&#039;s real change we must look to the next presidental and pick a man like Kucinich or maybe a Mckenna in the green party..There will be no change for the good here...President Obama is well aware of the law and yet he continues with the bush executive privledge and ignoring full steam ahead anything constitutional...

We the people are being held captive at the will of the political partie&#039;s while they play out their little kabuki play on word&#039;s and pretend banter to keep them all relevent...No longer are we the home of the free or brave..How brave can unemployed media fed people be when there is no justice just point&#039;s of. political posturing..Stalling and running out the clock to the next election and more promises is all that will happen...

Please forgive all the error&#039;s, hammer away and be critical all you please, these are just my opinion&#039;s and no I don&#039;t get paid for my post&#039;s and am not a troll just a realety based thinker....P. B &amp; J....Please forgive the length..</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Speaking of war crimes:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://rawstory.com/08/news/2009/07/10/bush-probe-mass-afghan-slayings/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Report: Bush admin. skirted probe of mass Afghan slayings&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;When CIA-backed Afghan warlord Abdul Rashid Dostum had up to ’several thousand’ Taliban prisoners sealed and suffocated to death in metal shipping containers just days after the United States invaded the country, it did not go unnoticed by the White House.

They simply chose not to do anything about it and quietly worked to discourage efforts to uncover the truth, according to a late Friday report by The New York Times.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This is all being done in YOUR name and funded with YOUR tax dollars (and via other criminal enterprises a-la Iran/Contra).

Failure to hold these folks accountable makes those that refuse to do so accomplishes to said war crimes.</description>

		<description>Whenwillthis nightmareend - I agree, but would add, the real topic needs to be why obama and dems have &quot;stood down&quot; and not held anyone accountable.

What rove says is meant to inflame - he could have been held accountable for his actions (as could many in dur chimpfurher&#039;s administration).

The news isn&#039;t that crooks steal - &lt;strong&gt;ITS THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT LOOKS THE OTHER WAY!&lt;/strong&gt;

How come &quot;yes we can&quot; became &quot;no we can&#039;t&quot; within the first 100 days - rhetoric about transparency, cleaning up government, and protecting our rights as &quot;our values&quot; have all been thrown under the bus.</description>

		<description>Perry, interesting persepctive - is it also not true that, at its core, the republican party (which evolved from scandal-ridden WHIG party of the 1800s that was so corrupt it could not remain viable) has always been about:

1.  Creating and maintaining a dislike of government, to the point of irrational hate,

2.  Channeling that hate to disconnect people from government except for supporting those that complain it is evil.

3.  Using the government to enrich a few key insiders, constantly gorging at the public trough.

4.  Telling the others that government is evil and should &quot;wither away&quot; and be &quot;drowned in the bathtub.

Its a very sophisticated scam really where a few steal from the many and then use the dysfunctional government that they create to convince some voters that ALL government is inherently evil.

The point I am trying to make is this - when we talk about the repugs we need to acknowledge that for a few of them, the hypocracy of their rhetoric is PROFITABLE BEYOND AVARICE.

And it takes an awful lot of propaganda to get the rest of them on board - the repug/neocon agenda goes directly against most of the population&#039;s best interest.</description>

		<description>Karl&#039;s comments suggest not so much hypocrisy as &lt;strong&gt;acute psychological dissociation&lt;/strong&gt;.

Keep in mind that the right have just been rendered politically impotent.  To a group of people who would murder their own mothers to get into power, this constitutes a major trauma.

Unable to deal with their political impotence, the right have switched personalities.  The symptoms are massive memory loss and a complete personality change.

These are the hallmarks of &lt;em&gt;dissociative personality disorder&lt;/em&gt;, and it is ubiquitous among wingnuts today.

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Everywhere you look, you find that last week&#039;s fascists are today&#039;s libertarians. &lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Look at the teabaggers.  I&#039;m quite certain that the average Republican has forgotten the Bush II Administration ever happened.  It&#039;s as if massive amounts of brain tissue have been removed...and now it was all Bill Clinton&#039;s fault.

If the Repubs ever get back into power, their memories will return and they will revert to facism again.

		<description>mari2RR - all legit points, but they demand the question be asked:  &lt;strong&gt;JUST WHAT ARE OBAMA AND THE DEMS GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?!?!?!?!?!?!&lt;/strong&gt;

Giving them a &quot;free pass&quot; is being complicit with the treason, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.  The precedence of international law is clear - those that cover up or go along with these crimes are also guilty of them.</description>

		<description>I just love it when the criminals make these flowery speeches.  Rove is the last person who needs to comment on honest government since he was right in the center of the most illegal administration in our history.  In fact, Bush&#039;s Vice President was totally in charge of the government all those years.  It is not that I excuse Bush, but I do think he was so unprepared to be President that he just signed off on all of Cheney&#039;s illegal activities.  How sad that the Bush Administration will go down in history as the most corrupt in our country&#039;s history.  In fact, when it all unravels, their conduct will read like the activites of some third word junta that stole the functi0ning government of their country and totally distorted the rules of the constitution.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Game of Life Says:

Lora Says:

Why is Rovian hypocrisy even news?

To make sure this bs won&#039;t happen again.&lt;/em&gt;

Unfortunately, this has happened twice where presidents have claimed extraordinary powers. The first was Nixon who made specious claims that the President can do anything he wants and it is not breaking the law. This was rejected by Nixon&#039;s impeachment. That did not stop Bush from reasserting these claims under the guise of national security. 

Can this happen again? Of course, it will happen again during the time of national crisis. There have been many times presidents have dealt with a national crisis but only Nixon and Bush have ever argued extreme broad powers. Lincoln and Roosevelt could have claimed more powers but did not because they had respect for the Constitution. The Congress passed laws after Nixon but that did not stop the Bush abuses of power. There is no guarantee that another president will not claim the powers.</description>
